Good plan for linen.  I have a set that is bullet-proof polyester and it is 
like a sweat cabinet when the weather is warm.  These days, they are all made 
of hideous cloth, so I shall be envying you.

nods.  And I'm in south Georgia.  I have a bolt of black linen ready to
go.  I'll wear mine (probably the damn plastic bag) on the 14th, again

make a period robe as well.
